Description
Simmons began using the Nos. 45 and 47 St. Botolph Street houses, located right across from Simmons Hall, as dorms in 1903.
Students who lived on St. Botolph Street frequently complained of the long journey from the Back Bay dorms to the MCB on the Fenway, and students increasingly pressured the College to develop a permanent Residence Campus.
